Extended Warranty Terms & Conditions

The terms and conditions of Lexmark Extended Warranty service, including Exchange service, On-site Repair and Upgrades, apply to products for which Lexmark has issued a Certificate of Registration for Lexmark Extended Warranty service, provided that the product was originally purchased, for business or individual use, from Lexmark, or a Lexmark Remarketer. Coverage is provided in the United States and Puerto Rico. (Payment terms are net thirty (30) days and payment must be received within thirty (30) days of invoice date).The coverage period is as shown on the applicable Certificate of Registration for Extended Warranty service for each covered product. Extended Warranty service does not cover products that have been defaced, altered, or damaged beyond repair.

If the covered product includes options, those options are covered during the term of the Extended Warranty, only when installed on the product for which they were designed. To obtain service for an option covered under Extended Warranty service, it may be necessary to present the option with the entire product.

If the Customer sells a covered product before the Extended Warranty service expires, the warranty coverage may be transferred to the new owner by submitting written notification from the original owner to Lexmark at:

Lexmark Extended Warranty service is not a guarantee of uninterrupted or error-free use of a product. Extended Warranty service does not include repair of failures caused by: misuse, neglect, accident, modification, unauthorized attachments, disaster, operation outside the specified operating environment or beyond the limits of the product’s duty cycle, improper maintenance by the Customer, use of media outside of Lexmark specifications, failure caused by service of the product by non-authorized servicers, or failure caused by a product, including non-genuine supply products or non-genuine service parts. Next Business Day service does not guarantee a specific service performance metric. Lexmark does not warrant the durability or longevity of prints produced by any product.

Consumable and Repair Parts

Consumable Parts require periodic replacement based on printer usage in order to maintain optimum performance of the product. Maintenance kits and other consumable parts are available from Lexmark for certain models. Some products display a maintenance reminder message at specified intervals based on pages printed. If required, product documentation directs the customer to install a maintenance kit or to contact a service representative for kit installation. Maintenance kits and other consumable parts are available at an additional charge to the customer. These parts are outside the scope of both the Lexmark Base Warranty and Extended Warranty offerings. Installation of maintenance kit components is generally the Customer’s responsibility. If, however, a particular maintenance kit is not considered “Customer replaceable” by Lexmark, installation service will be included in the Extended Warranty. Lexmark is not responsible for failures caused by a Customer’s failure to timely install maintenance kits.

Repair parts will be furnished on an exchange basis and may be new, equivalent to new or reconditioned. All returned parts and products become the property of Lexmark.

Extended Warranty Descriptions

Exchange Service

If the customer purchases Lexmark's Exchange Extended Warranty, defective printers covered under the warranty will be replaced with an exchange product from Lexmark. The exchange printer will be sent via next business day transportation (where available) for most laser printers and 3-5 day transportation for inkjet printers and consumer laser printers. (See documentation for specific details for your product model.) Unless specified by Lexmark, the Customer is required to return the defective product to Lexmark, in which case, the Customer must pack the product using the packing materials from the exchange product, attach the prepaid return shipping label, and deliver the packaged product to Lexmark’s designated shipper. Failure to return the defective product within five (5) business days of the Customer’s receipt of the exchange product will result in a Customer charge for the full price of the exchange product. The returned product becomes the property of Lexmark. At Lexmark's option, exchange products may be new, repaired, or may be a different model of new or repaired product of equal or greater capabilities. The exchange product becomes the property of the Customer when the defective product is received by Lexmark, at which time the exchange product assumes the remainder of the Extended Warranty from the defective product. The returned product must not be encumbered.

On-site Service

If the customer purchases Lexmark’s On-site Extended Warranty, On-site service is provided at the Customer's business or home location. Next Business Day service will generally be provided if the request for service is received by 5:00 p.m., Customer local time, if the service location is within a 50 mile radius of a Lexmark Authorized Service Center (LASC) and overnight (A.M.) Lexmark parts delivery is available to the service location. One (1) additional business day may be required for service locations more than 50 miles from LASC and two (2) additional business days may be required for service in Hawaii and Alaska. Lexmark On-site Extended Warranty service is not available for all products. Please contact Lexmark or review your product documentation to determine if this option is available for your product model.

Repair and Return Service

Certain models are eligible for repair and return of the defective product. If this option is available and the Customer chooses this option, the Customer is responsible for properly packing the product and delivering the product to the Lexmark designated carrier. Lexmark will provide packing materials if the original packing materials are no longer available. The Customer is responsible for any damage resulting from the Customer's improper packing of a product sent to Lexmark. Contact Lexmark to determine if this Repair and Return option is available for your product model. The Repair and Return option generally provides for repair of the product and return to the Customer within 5-7 business days. If a returned product cannot be repaired using commercially reasonable efforts, Lexmark at its discretion may provide a new, refurbished or repaired replacement product.
